Here\u2019s a lovely description by the show\u2019s curator:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe exhibition\u2019s focal piece, an intricate multicolored, multilayered chandelier radiates within Peep\u2019s space. Made of cast resin, gradating colors, and occasionally flecks of glitter, the glass-like material casts a translucent glow from its singular light source. Emulating ornate Renaissance interiors, the chandelier\u2019s chains drip with a series of cherry, butterfly, strawberry, banana, and star-shaped charms. A celebration of the beauty in the cheap consumerism of acrylic nail charms, jelly shoes, and Haribo gummies, Celestial Cherry pulls from nostalgia and the heavens, swaddling its viewer in a blanket of escapism.\u201d\u00a0~ Julia Greenway, Curator<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Yum!<\/strong>\u00a0Follow Braxton on Instagram at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/braxtoncongrove\/\">@braxtoncongrove<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More art you can eat!?
